    Officials at the outdoor adventure resort will be filling positions in nearly every department including guides, front desk, reservations, food and beverage, housekeeping, video, janitorial, maintenance and security, according to Jerry Smith, human resources director.

    “We are seeking employees who like to work hard and play hard,” Smith said.

    “There is a multitude of jobs available for candidates with an array of skills and interests. If an ‘office’ in the country’s newest national park sounds interesting to you, we want to meet you.”

    Adventures on the Gorge employees receive a variety of benefits, including free adventures such as ziplining, rock climbing, and rafting on the New River, as well as discounts on food and beverage, retail equipment, and merchandise.
